Single-Ion Atomic Clock with 3 × 10 − 18 Systematic Uncertainty
TL;DR: An optical frequency standard based on the E3 transition of a single trapped (171)Yb+ ion is experimentally investigated and a Ramsey-type excitation scheme that provides immunity to probe-induced frequency shifts is utilized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Limit on a Temporal Variation of m p / m e from Comparisons of Yb + and Cs Atomic Clocks
TL;DR: The frequency of the (2)S1/2→(2)F7/2 electric octupole (E3) transition in (171)Yb(+) is measured against two caesium fountain clocks as f(E3)=642,121,496,772,645.36 Hz with an improved fractional uncertainty of 3.9×10(-16).
Journal ArticleDOI
Limit on the Present Temporal Variation of the Fine Structure Constant

TL;DR: An optical transition frequency at 688 THz in 171Yb+ with a cesium atomic clock is measured and a value for the fractional variation of the frequency ratio f(Yb)/f(Cs) of (-1.2+/-4.4)x10(-15) yr(-1) (1sigma) is found, consistent with zero.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kerr-lens, mode-locked lasers as transfer oscillators for optical frequency measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a Kerr-lens, mode-locked laser is used as a transfer oscillator whose noise properties do not enter the measurement process, which opens up the route to phase-link signals with arbitrary frequencies in the optical or microwave range while their frequency stability is preserved.
Journal ArticleDOI
First phase-coherent frequency measurement of visible radiation.
TL;DR: The realization of the SI-unit meter according to its definition by visible radiation with 25-fold reduced uncertainty compared to previous measurements is realized.
